Up until about 6 months ago I had 3 of those in my house. On the wall in the kitchen, night stand in the bedroom, and next to my loading bench down stairs.
About 5 miles or so from where I grew up. Worked in a china factory in that town when I was in high school. Made lamps and whiskey bottles for Jim Beam.
weight and balance……….learn to use it……..
I don't wear any loose clothing when using mine. I saw a picture one time of a dead guy wrapped up in a large lathe. A very graphic example of not being aware of what can happen with machinery.
Once years ago I was drilling holes with a drill press and swatting the swarf off the bit wearing heavy leather welding gloves, took a coffee break, and then slipped on a pair of cotton work gloves when returning for some reason. Just a forgetful moment in judgement I guess. With the first swat I discovered I was strong enough to rip the finger right out of a cotton glove when the swarf grabbed it. I was lucky in that there was no damage to anything but the glove. I did learn a lesson about paying more attention to what I was doing though.
